This one-pot Slow Cooker Seasoned Chicken, Potatoes and Green beans has a homemade dressing/marinade and will be your new favorite healthy dinner.

If you love this one-pot meal you need to see my Garlic Butter Chicken and Veggies, that recipe has the same easy one pot meal concept as this recipe.

I’ve seen oven versions of this recipe, but most include an Italian dressing seasoning packet.

Instead of using a seasoning packet to flavor the sauce in this dish, I make a simple mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and dried seasonings.

ingredients for chicken and vegetable slow cooker meal on wooden table

How to make a one pot chicken dinner:

  • Boneless skinless chicken breasts – Can use chicken thighs or tenders.
  • Fresh green beans – Frozen works well too.
  • Red Potatoes – Cut into quarters or about 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Homemade Italian dressing – Super quick to make, see my recipe below.

For the homemade dressing:

  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Olive oil
  • Oregano
  • Salt and pepper
  • Onion powder
  • Minced garlic

Can I use lemon juice out of a squeeze bottle?

  • No. This recipe isn’t the time or place to use squeeze bottle lemon juice; the recipe will taste off if you use it.
  • Lemons are cheap, be sure to grab them at the store.

Can I use a different vegetable than green beans?

Yes! If you aren’t a green bean fan, then try one of these substitutes.

  • Broccoli 
  • Asparagus
  • Canned or fresh corn
  • Baby carrots or sliced carrots
  • Extra potatoes

Can I use the Italian dressing mix instead of making the homemade dressing?

  • Yes! You can forgo all the dressing ingredients and drizzle a half cup of butter over the seasoned chicken, potatoes and green beans then sprinkle an Italian dressing mix over.
  • Follow the same cooking directions below.
  • You can find the Italian dressing mix on the salad dressing aisle next to the ranch dressing packets.

Recipe Notes:

Can I use Italian dressing dry mix?
  • Yes! You can forgo all the dressing ingredients and drizzle a half cup of butter over the seasoned chicken, potatoes and green beans then sprinkle an Italian dressing mix over.
  • Follow the same cooking directions below.
  • You can find the Italian dressing mix on the salad dressing aisle next to the ranch dressing packets.
Can I use a different vegetable?
Yes! If you aren’t a green bean fan, then try one of these substitutes:
  • Broccoli 
  • Asparagus
  • Canned or fresh corn
  • Baby carrots or sliced carrots
  • Extra potatoes
Why can’t I use bottled lemon juice?
  • Bottled lemon juice in recipes can taste bitter.
  • This recipe has been tested with fresh lemon juice. Many reviews who have used bottled instead have not liked the meal for the flavor of the bottled lemon juice isn’t right for this recipe.

      Very good! I doubled everything and it still turned out right. There was a lot of leftover liquid in the slow cooker so I poured some wild rice in it and that turned out wonderfully too. Will definitely be cooking again.

      I made this recipe today for tonight’s dinner. It was very good. The homemade dressing had lots of flavor and tanginess from the lemon juice.
      Best of all, there are leftovers for lunches!
      Thank you.

        You can reduce the amount of salt you add, that’s the main source of sodium.

      My potatoes are still as hard as when i put then into the cooker 8 hours later. even on high! they are cooked but just hard like raw? I have to cook my spuds separately and add at the end or they go hard! Any suggestions?

        Are you keeping the lid on the entire time? other wise I’d say you need a new slow cooker. They should be done in that amount of time.

        Raw potatoes don’t freeze well, so I don’t think so.

        I’m going to be making this tonight and I’m using the method with the envelope of Italian dressing. I just wanted to make sure that a half a cup of butter is the only liquid that I would need for this? Also do you find that the longer cook time or the shorter cook time comes out better? Thank you so much!
